    uPrepaid

    The websites up. Check it out. Never seen USCC be so aggressive on price. Should really help them with the customers they churning to Straightalk, Virgin Mobile, etc. There's going to be a lot of ripple effects from these plans.

    This doesn't seem to be too bad of a deal IMO.

    there is a limitation on number porting between pre and post paid plans, am I right? makes switching complicated.

    i like the fact that uprepaid customers can buy cards and fill online. They need to make it so all prepaid have that option. I have a tracfone and two clicks and i have new minutes.

    Yes saw 3 or 4 of the new uPrepaid at Wally this AM. Forgot to snap a pic. The "best" phone they have is a Samsung R680 Android for $129.99...not exactly earth-shattering.

    If you want to buy one of the prepaid carrier's phones, yes. And assuming uPrepaid is a CDMA service, that's probably a very valid point. But some prepaid carriers like Straight Talk are actually a steal if you provide your own GSM smartphone.

    It not a steal at all when your on AT&T's crappy network.
    MOTOROLA Still #1 in reception and call clarity.

    With a $45/mo price tag I don't think that there's a lot to complain about. That will be my next carrier since I have to leave my family plan due to the 200mb roaming cap. As a student, a 70/mo bare-bones plan you'll get on a carrier like VZW (few minutes, no messaging) can't hold a candle to 45 bucks a month with unlimited calls and messaging and about the same amount of data (consensus seems to be that Straight Talk's "unlimited" data is around 2gb). Anyhow, my only point was that not all prepaid carriers are limited to crappy phones, as long as you are willing to provide one.

    Something I found interesting is that the terms and conditions are actually in relatively understandable language and pretty short compared to some. The shorter and simpler these agreements are, the more likely people are to actually read them.
